    Hello from a newbie!

    Hello Everyone.

    Apologies if I have posted this into the wrong forum but as your newest member I just wanted to say ?hello?.

    A few of you will already know me from the ?other? UK forum which I joined about 6-weeks ago. This stuff is all very new to me so I apologise in advance if I get things wrong occasionally.

    I have been introduced to TZ-UK by one of your existing forum members ?Gary? from Liverpool from whom I recently purchased his Doxa Sub 750T. I will just take this opportunity to say what a great guy Gary is to deal with and that I would have no hesitation in trading with again - cheers pal.

    I?m not to sure how much of an introduction is customary here but just to say that I am married and I have a daughter who is just 5-weeks old and I live in Mid-Wales.

    I have had a fascination with wrist-watches since the age of 10 (I?m 36 now) but its only for the past few years that I have been in a position to be able to collect. I know absolutely bu99er all about them so I here to learn from you guys! :P

    As for my collection well it is relatively small but I?m more than happy with what I?ve got which is (in alphabetical order)

    1 x Animal W001 - 1993
    1 x Alpha (SMP 300 'homage') - 2008
    1 x DOXA Sub 750T - 2007
    1 x Favre Leuba Seaking -1958
    1 x Longines Conquest Auto 290 ? 1960?s
    1 x Omega 267 - 1958
    1 x Omega Seamaster Professional 300 Auto ? 2003
    2 x Seiko 6139 6XXX ?Pepsi? Chrono ? 1973 & 1976
    1 x Seiko SKZ211 Atlas - 2008 (currently being modified with a ?Yeo? face and ?Ploprof? hands by a forum member here ?Strange_too? - another top guy btw)
    1 x Swatch Irony Chrono ? 2001

    I thinks that?s enough from me so to close here are a few dirty pics of Gary?s old Doxa. I think the pics are OK but over the coming months I want to improve my technique somewhat.

    Best regards to you all - Stuart :hello1:

    Welcome to the forum! You'll find it a friendly place to be, but expensive if you spend too much time on the Sales Corner! Nice watches you have there.
